I've been very much tempted to grab onto one of these 150 dollar Chinkomatic hand operated patchers. My questions are DO ANY OF YOU HAVE ONE??? HOW RELIABLE IS IT?? FROM WHICH SUPPLIER DID YOU GET IT? I'm sure some are better than others . . . they surely didn't all come off the same hand made forgings . . . Thanks to all . . . May God bless, Dwight just saw this on ebay it might be a better choice however i dont have a clue if it is .https://www.ebay.com/itm/175519867019?hash=item28ddcca08b:g:JmUAAOSwws9jjbjM&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAA4KF6KWiybMXD%2BYAu5FHmSL%2BLXn6krZ3Cq4JyddSJrexZZPvCVBYzgjyZywhG2V60Ua9FFPVSDAw%2BZdNbTP2411ovHWLouCUohlwBw7glVyrOXHJsqCAqB3JpBN0Bnb2hFE20asrT2VhCX%2BsMJLoLKqR5eCU3sIoXjlYK9yFCHNzP7g%2FXZigbH%2B1ysqxFJqrInIFcvi%2BVhuXmjMllaxDuc1rcasdvoFDtSZdG0mqpZUbpj8hFyUXoAmBJYdOdboaIcWB1KPW4EfVu2vyIXDs29DHmGfNazOa1qsg9qTYdnjef|tkp%3ABFBMhPnjqpxh Quote Worked in a prison for 30 years if I aint shiny every time I comment its no big deal, I just don't wave pompoms. “I won’t be wronged, I won’t be insulted, and I won’t be laid a hand on. I don’t do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.” THE DUKE!

May God bless, Dwight I read the specs on the eBay page and I believe it listed the throat length as just under 12 inches. It is a clone of a clone of a clone of a Singer 29ksomething. Each time they clone a mold it shrinks a little. The same thing used to happen to belt buckles that were copied in China in the early 1990s, ripping off the US based Bergamot and Siskiyou buckle companies.

Which few I don’t know. They do a good job of making them all the same. I do know that after market support, and parts are non existing for most of them. I’d suggest going cheap on the China patcher. If anything you’ll learn something messing with it. There’s really no reason why it can’t be a valuable addition to your hustle. There’s folks making top o the line product on nothing but a China patcher. Then save up and buy the outrageously priced patcher of your choice. Definitely worth the investment. Quote
